Pricing system is deceptive. I paid $25.99, $39.99, $59.99 and still did not get all my files minified. If you do not know how many files need to minified and purchase the wrong plan you can purchase three plans and still not have the required results. I purchased the $25.99 when it did not do all of the files, I purchased the $39.99 still not enough. Finally I purchased the $59.99 plan. Still not enough to minify all my files. When I asked to be switched to the unlimited for $99.99 I was told this was not possible even though I had purchased $125.97 in services.

The application has not improved our speed. If I don't see its usefulness, I will remove it. Can you help me? Br, " ANSWER MADE " Hi , Thank you for reaching out! I just want to clarify that the Minify Me File Optimizer is only designed to minify your theme files. Minification is typically only a small part of site speed, and while it can influence the score, there are usually deeper issues embedded. To help increase your Google PSI score, I would recommend that you check out our Google PSI Optimization service ($499). With this service, our developer will focus on overall site speed optimization for both desktop and mobile, help increase your Shopify score, and address issues concerning Core Web Vitals. We also guarantee a score of 65+ on mobile and 90+ on desktop for this service or we issue a full refund back to you. If you're interested, you may purchase the order here: https://speedboostr.com/services/ " AS U CAN SEE WE ASKED WHY IT WAS NOT WORKING AND WE PROPOSED US AN UPGRADED AT 499 DOLLARS UP TO YOU

Hello Manège épicé, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, although we regret that your experience with Minify Me - File Optimizer hasn't met your expectations. We want to address your concerns. Minify Me is specifically designed to minify your theme files. While it plays a valuable role in optimizing site performance by reducing file sizes, it is just one aspect of the broader website speed optimization picture. Our app's primary focus is to help enhance your Google PageSpeed Insights (PSI) score by optimizing your theme files. Site speed is influenced by various factors, and simply minifying theme files may not be the sole solution to boost your site speed. Often, additional performance issues may be associated with other elements such as third-party apps and functionalities that you have integrated into your store. Our team does offer a service called Google PSI Optimization, which provides a comprehensive approach to improving your site's overall speed. This service addresses critical aspects, including Core Web Vitals and Shopify score, to enhance both desktop and mobile performance. We even guarantee a score of 65+ on mobile and 90+ on desktop, or we issue a full refund. We understand that the performance of your website is of utmost importance, and we want to ensure your satisfaction. While the Google PSI Optimization service comes at a price, we believe it can significantly contribute to improving your site speed, especially if there are multiple factors affecting it. We appreciate your input, and we encourage you to consider our optimization service for a more in-depth and effective approach to improving your site's speed. If you have any further questions, require additional information, or would like to discuss your specific concerns, please feel free to reach out. We're here to assist you in achieving your desired website performance. Best regards, Customer Support Team

According to Page Insights & Lighthouse its speeded up mobile browsing by quite a lot & a little on desktop speed. Tested before & after and I can see the difference on CLS. It'll take time to see if its made any difference on search rankings. Made no difference to the shopify speed though.

This app did just improve mobile speed slightly but not that we could say the score is really good (from 20 to 30 google pagespeed insights) and in fact decreased pagespeed on desktop even more (from 85 to 68). There was only option for optimizing css and no option for js or liquids.

Hi Treeletic, We appreciate your feedback and would like to address your concerns regarding your experience with the Minify Me - File Optimizer app. While it's great to hear that you observed a slight improvement in mobile speed, we understand that you were expecting a more significant boost in your Google PageSpeed Insights (PSI) score. It's essential to clarify that Minify Me primarily focuses on optimizing CSS files within your theme. Minification is a valuable practice that helps reduce the size of these files, contributing to improved loading times. However, it's important to note that site speed optimization is a multifaceted process. Several factors influence your site's performance, including third-party apps and the code that may be generated by these apps. Unfortunately, our app does not minify JavaScript (JS) or Liquid files. If these files are not optimized and contribute to a slowdown in your site's performance, it can affect your PSI scores. Typically, when you've minified CSS files and your site score remains unchanged or decreases, it may be due to other apps you have installed, especially those that load scripts on your site. We encourage users to assess the apps they've integrated into their stores, whether they are front-facing apps or background apps like ours, to identify if they are still necessary or if they may be impacting site speed. We understand your expectations for improved speed, and we apologize if our app's performance fell short of meeting those expectations. While our app serves a specific purpose, we also offer a broader Google PSI Optimization service that encompasses a more comprehensive approach to site speed enhancement. If you're interested in further improving your site's performance, you may want to explore our optimization service, which addresses not only CSS but also other elements affecting site speed, including JavaScript and Liquid files. We aim to provide a holistic solution to help you achieve your desired PSI scores for both mobile and desktop. We appreciate your valuable feedback, and should you have any more questions or require additional information, please feel free to reach out to us. We're here to support you in your journey to enhance your site's performance. Best regards, Customer Support Team

We purchased the app and I followed the steps to duplicate the theme etc. When we went to view the duplicated theme, we got a 404 error. I've emailed three times without any response. I'm hoping I'll get a response here, if so I'll amend the review accordingly if it works as described.
